In humans, the haploid number of chromosomes is ____.
23
46
69
92
Which of the following is the best definition for MEIOSIS?
the process of two haploid cells uniting
the counting of chromosomes within a diploid cell
a two-step process that reduces the number of chromosomes in half such that there is only one copy of all the chromosomes
the equational division of a cell into two identical copies
True or False? Before cells undergo meiosis they pass through interphase first.
true
false
In which stage of MEIOSIS does crossing over occur? (The exchange of genetic material between chromosomes in a tetrad.)
Anaphase I
Metaphase I
Prophase I
Telophase I
In Anaphase I, the _________ are separated by the pulling of the spindle fibers to opposite poles of the cell.
homologous pairs of chromosomes
sister chromatids
centromeres
centrosomes
Check all of the following that DO occur during Telophase I and cytokinesis.
The separated homologous chromosomes are at opposite poles of the cell.
The cell divides in two.
The chromosomes do not uncoil, since they are getting ready for Meiosis II.
Sister chromatids are pulled away from each other.
In Metaphase II, _________ line up on equatorial plane.
homologous pairs of chromosomes
single chromosomes (made up of 2 sister chromatids)
tetrads
centrosomes
In Anaphase II, the _________ separate.
Homologues
Sister Chromatids
Tetrads
Centrioles
How many cells are formed at the end of Meiosis II?
2
3
4
8
True or False. In Meiosis II, there are TWO cells that go through each phase at the same time.
true
false
Which of the following does NOT happen during Telophase II?
the nuclei reform
each cell begins to split evenly in two
the chromosomes duplicate
the nuclei contain a haploid number of chromosomes
Which of the following are CORRECT observations about the differences between MITOSIS and MEIOSIS? (Check all that apply.)
Mitosis produces cells that identical to the parent cell.
Meiosis produces cells that have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
All cells go through INTERPHASE as part of the cell cycle, whether it goes to mitosis or meiosis next.
In both types of cell division, the chromosomes are only duplicated once.
Only in Mitosis, do you see chromosomes pair up to form a tetrad.
The products of MEIOSIS have _______ number of chromosomes.
haploid
diploid

Parallel
Antiparallel
Perpendicular
At Right Angles
DNA is built in this direction
5' to 3' (new nucleotides added to the 3' end)
3' to 5' (new nucleotides added to the 5' end)
